Yes well, since I solved this in an unconventional way I'm going to post it. Maybe it can be useful for others.
I started looking into third party apps who keep windows always on top. There are quite a few, problem was finding one that would work with a more or less modern OS. I found this one and it works. Posting the link since it's a tiny freeware anyway.
